Sumbal, August 29 (BuzzBytes) – In a heart-wrenching incident, a young boy, merely seven years old, lost his life after being attacked by a leopard in the Nesbal region of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Tuesday.
Officials to the BuzzBytes reported that the incident unfolded when the child went missing on Monday evening. In response, a comprehensive search operation was promptly launched, involving local police, the 13th Rashtriya Rifles (13RR), CRPF personnel, and members of the community.
Evidence collected at the scene, including bloodstains and the boy’s clothing discovered near a field, pointed to a distressing conclusion: the boy had likely fallen victim to a leopard that had frequently been spotted in the area. Authorities confirmed these suspicions.
After a rigorous search effort lasting over 10 hours, the lifeless body of the boy was discovered early Tuesday morning on a nearby hillock in Nesbal.
The young victim has been identified as Zaid Bashir, the son of Bashir Ahmad, hailing from Nesbal. Following necessary legal and medical formalities, the boy’s remains were respectfully handed over to his grieving family members for the final rites.
This unfortunate incident serves as a somber reminder of the challenges that can arise due to the coexistence of humans and wildlife in regions like Nesbal. The community now grapples with grief as they remember the young life lost to the forces of nature.
